When Ji Han and his men traveled to the Three Kingdoms crew

Chapter 379 It’s not me who has made a contribution!
"Dong the thief is dead!"

"Xu Rong was badly defeated!"

"Li Jue and Guo Si fled north in panic!"

The news of Bingzhou's great victory drifted to Luoyang and Chang'an on the west wind. The people were all delighted and excited. They made a puppet with bamboo as the skeleton and thatch as the skin. On the puppet's forehead were written the two big words "Dong Zhuo". They set up the puppet and pushed it into the sea of ​​fire. Watching the puppet being swallowed by the sea of ​​fire and listening to the crackling sound of the burning flames, the crowd cheered like a thunderous roar.

Guan Yu, Gan Ning and others who arrived in Chang'an happened to witness this scene. Gan Ning looked at this scene with a little confusion on his face, "What are they doing? Burning Dong Zhuo?"

The official in charge of reception stepped forward and said, "This good man is right. Dong Zhuo has committed many evil deeds. I wish everyone could kill him!"

"That's right." Guan Yu nodded in agreement, stroking his beard. "The people know whether others treat them well or not. Dong Zhuo caused chaos in Luoyang and wanted to massacre the city to intimidate the people. He is indeed a great villain! Justice is in the hearts of the people, and right and wrong will be determined by twists and turns."

Gan Ning listened thoughtfully. He clasped his fists and said, "Ning, I appreciate your advice."

After he finished speaking, he looked up at the person who was coming to greet him. He had regular features, a face as white as jade, lips as white as rouge, and was seven feet and five inches tall. He pounded his hands and knees, and looked back to see his ears.
At first glance, one feels that this person is extraordinary and looks kind, but Gan Ning feels that this is not the case. If he has to find an object to describe this person, he thinks it can only be a sword. Normally, the sword is hidden in the box when there is nothing to do. Only when something big happens will the sword show its sharpness.

If he were in Ba County, Gan Ning would be willing to drink with such a person.

He thought about it seriously again.

Being able to talk to General Guan, he must be a high-ranking official, right?

Judging from his features, he looks like General Wei?
General Wei is not too busy with official duties. Moreover, General Guan told us before we set out that General Guan had specifically told us before leaving Chang'an, "Don't put on any pomp and circumstance. I am not returning with a great victory."

No matter from which angle you consider it, General Wei would not come to greet us in person at this time, right?
Although Gan Ning's mind was full of thoughts, his hands did not slow down at all. He clasped his fists towards the official and said respectfully, "Gan Ning from Ba County pays his respects to the noble lord. May I know your name and official position?"

Just as the official was about to speak, Guan Yu smiled and said, "Brother."

"Big brother?" Gan Ning was stunned for a moment. General Guan's big brother? General Guan has a brother serving in the court?

Then he seemed to have thought of something, his eyes widened, and he looked at Liu Bei in disbelief, "Your Excellency is actually the famous General Wei?"

"I don't deserve the title, but now I am the general of the guard." Liu Bei smiled at Gan Ning, then looked at Guan Yu and asked, "Yun Chang, why don't you introduce this hero to me?"

Guan Yu nodded, "Brother, this man's surname is Gan and his name is Ning."

The three of them had a very pleasant conversation, but Qian Zhao was a little confused. He knew that Liu Bei was the General of the Guards and was very busy. Liu Bei was here, so why didn't he see Zhang Fei?
According to Jian Yong, compared with Liu Bei, Zhang Fei was not busy, but he had to be said to have plenty of free time.

When the second brother returned to the capital, Guan Yu, as the elder brother, said, "Unless I have won a great victory, there is no need to put on a show." That's true. But even though he said that, did Zhang Fei, as the younger brother, really not come to greet him?
Qian Zhao thought to himself: If Xuande came back after traveling through mountains and rivers, I would not fail to greet him unless I had something important to do.

"Zijing, what are you worrying about?" Jian Yong asked curiously.

Qian Zhao glanced at Jian Yong and asked, "Why is Yi De not here?"

"Yide?" Jian Yong breathed a sigh of relief. He smiled and said, "Zijing, I thought it was some important matter. It turns out that Yide didn't come to greet you. Don't worry. Although Yide likes to wander around with Prince Chenliu and looks unruly, Yide is only rough on the outside. In fact, he is very smart and transparent. For something like this, he would definitely not be absent, unless... unless he has something important to do and can't get away."

That's true.

Qian Zhao thought Jian Yong was right, but he seemed to have thought of something, and he said to Jian Yong jokingly: "I didn't expect that the person who understands Yide the most in the world is Xianhe."

"Ahem." Jian Yong was almost choked by Qian Zhao's words. He denied it flatly, "Zijing, stop talking nonsense. How can I understand Yide? These are just my guesses, guesses."

"really?"

"That's natural, more real than gold!"

Qian Zhao secretly clicked his tongue. Why did I smell a hint of anger?

While the two were talking to each other, Liu Bei patted Gan Ning on the shoulder, said a few words of comfort, and strode up to Qian Zhao and Jian Yong.

The two of them gave up.

Jian Yong withdrew his gaze and thought to himself that he would give up for now.

Then he smiled at Liu Bei and said, "Xuan De."

"Xianhe, thank you for the long journey."

"Haha, what's the hardship? This trip is a great comfort to me, it's really beyond the reach of outsiders!"

After saying this, Jian Yong walked away and stood beside Guan Yu.

Liu Bei clasped his fists towards Qian Zhao and said, "Zijing, long time no see. I heard what Yunchang said. This time it's all thanks to you."

Gan Ning was confused. What was this time? He had not noticed that Liu Bei and Qian Zhao had been exchanging letters during this period.

Unlike Gan Ning, Qian Zhao naturally understood what Liu Bei meant. When Guan Yu and Jian Yong went to the fairyland, they must have talked with Liu Bei about the process of recruiting Gan Ning. Liu Bei probably knew as much as he did.

"Xuan De, this time, you have to thank me very much!" Qian Zhao did not exchange pleasantries with Liu Bei, but spoke in a joking tone.

Liu Bei agreed immediately, "Of course, I came here to welcome Zijing. There is a wine shop in the city, and the mutton is very delicious. Let's go, Zijing, Gan Zhuangshi, and my second brother Xianhe, come with me!"

Gan Ning looked at Liu Bei laughing heartily and felt a trace of admiration in his heart. He thought that Liu Bei, who held the position of General Wei and was a disciple of the great Confucian scholar Lu Zhi, should be a scholar of the highest standard. He was really shocked when Jian Yong and Qian Zhao called Liu Bei by his courtesy name just now. Not to mention General Wei, an ordinary scholar would have pride written on his face even if he was a county official. He thought this was normal before. After all, being a county official was part of the person's character and it was the demeanor of a scholar.

Gan Ning, who kept chatting with Qian Zhao and Jian Yong along the way, had a different idea. If he was not from a prominent family, could he be an official?
What he has always admired are righteous men and scholars.

Nowadays, it seems that some scholars are just seeking fame and reputation, but now there is such a person, who was born in a humble family, but was able to wield a sword and do justice, and was taught by a great scholar, but was awarded an official position based on military merit. He is in a high position, but still has the same original intention, and happens to meet the identity of a scholar and a righteous man. How can he not admire him?

Looking at Liu Bei's back, Gan Ning clenched his fists.

He seemed to understand why Guan Yu and Jian Yong were able to go to the fairyland.

Liu Bei led a group of people to the tavern. The tavern was neither big nor small, but it had everything that one would expect. Although he had not been there many times, Liu Bei remembered that the owner was a loyal and honest man.

A man with a simple and honest face came forward and asked, "How many of you are there?"

"Hey, buddy, I have reserved a private room." Liu Bei said as he showed the receipt.

The waiter carefully compared them and finally confirmed that they were correct. He stretched out his hand and said with a smile, "Dear guests, please go upstairs."

Several people sat around a round table. While the dishes had not yet been served, Liu Bei started chatting with everyone. As they chatted, Liu Bei found that Qian Zhao was a little absent-minded.

So he asked, "Zi Jing, why are you so depressed?"

"Since Xuande has asked, I won't hide it anymore."

Qian Zhao's words attracted many people's attention, and Guan Yu and Gan Ning were both full of curiosity.

Under the gaze of the crowd, Qian Zhao expressed his doubts: "Xuan De, I wonder where Yi De is now?"

"Yide?"

Guan Yu and Jian Yong seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Liu Bei could see the worry in Qian Zhao's heart at a glance. He did not answer directly, but poured a cup of tea and handed it to Qian Zhao. Gan Ning, who was sitting upright, thought that the confidential matters in the country were news that he should not hear, and wanted to get up and leave, but was stopped by the perceptive Liu Bei, "Where are you going, Mr. Gan?"

Gan Ning looked at Guan Yu, then at Jian Yong, and finally at Liu Bei. "Isn't what General Wei is going to say next a confidential matter?"

"Secret?" Liu Bei smiled and shook his head. "How can this be considered a secret? Even if it is a secret, there is no need to hide it from Gan Zhuangshi. Gan Zhuangshi, sit down."

"I see." Gan Ning sat back in his original seat.

Seeing that they were listening intently, Liu Bei explained, "Not long ago, we held a court meeting and decided to send troops. My third brother will be the commander-in-chief, General Huang will be the deputy commander, Wenhe and Yuanzhi will be responsible for supervising the army and making plans, Wenruo will be responsible for the supply of food and grass, and Yunchang's ship will be responsible for transporting food and grass."

Upon hearing this, Jian Yong and Guan Yu couldn't help but gasp, which made Gan Ning look strange. He really didn't understand why Jian Yong and Guan Yu reacted like this. Maybe Zhang Fei and Huang Zhong were more powerful, as for the others, who were they?

If Jian Yong knew Gan Ning's inner thoughts, he would probably look at him with contempt. Each of these people is more powerful than the other. Just thinking about the TV series filmed by Director Zhen in the fairyland in the future, there is a shortage of talent, so he has to be forced to serve as Liu Bei's strategist. Just think about how sad the situation was at that time.

And now
The luxury is unimaginable!
Thinking of this, Jian Yong actually felt a little relieved in his heart.

Guan Yu asked at this time: "Brother, where is Cao Mengde? Cao Mengde learned that we have returned and brought back a warrior like Xingba. He must have come to meet us."

"Cao Mengde?" Gan Ning was stunned. He had heard of Cao Mengde before. In the past, he must have been the one guarding the city gate, right? Even his uncle, who was a eunuch, was treated mercilessly. Cao Mengde must be a high-ranking official now, right?

Qian Zhao saw Gan Ning's doubts, and he lowered his voice to remind him, "Cao Mengde is the Grand Herald."

"What?!" Gan Ning covered his mouth immediately after realizing his loss of composure. The Grand Herald is one of the Nine Ministers and holds a high position of power!

Jian Yong curled his lips. He had obviously heard Qian Zhao's words. He said casually, "He is just one of the Nine Ministers, and the Prince of Chenliu still calls me uncle!"

Gan Ning suddenly realized that it was true that Cao Cao was one of the Nine Ministers, and that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's official positions were not inferior to Cao Cao's. Moreover, General Wei Liu Xuande was also sitting in front of him, so there seemed to be no need to make a fuss.

As for the King of Chenliu.
Speaking of Prince Chenliu, Prince Chenliu has arrived.

A young but steady voice shouted, "Nephew! I saw it clearly. It was this person who stole the property. Go!"

Then came a much more mature voice, "I see, Master. Can't you and I keep our voices down a bit?"

"Hey, you don't understand this, right? The louder the voice, the more powerful it is. My good nephew, I usually won't tell outsiders. Do you know that after training your voice, it will be enough to stop the Yangtze River from flowing backwards! You and I should hurry up. By then, I will train it into a tiger roar, and nephew will train it into a deer cry. We will be General Sili. Who dares to fight with us?!"

"No, Uncle Master, why am I Luming?"

"Third Uncle said that Brother Meng De wrote "The Deer Calls" and "Eating the Apples in the Wilderness". Brother Meng De has already called "The Deer Calls". So, nephew, it's okay for me to say that you call "The Deer Calls", right?"

"Ah? Deer call, eating wild apples? Uncle Master, could this be from the Book of Songs?"

"Ahem, there is also such a saying, good nephew, don't worry about trivial matters."

Even Gan Ning could hear the helplessness in that mature voice.

Liu Bei's head was full of black lines, and Guan Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Jian Yong and Qian Zhao laughed so hard that they fell backwards.

Shi A was Wang Yue's disciple, and Chenliu Wang was also Wang Yue's disciple. The two were brothers. Cao Ang was Cao Cao's eldest son, and Cao Ang was Shi A's disciple. So Cao Ang was Chenliu Wang's nephew, and Cao Cao was Chenliu Wang's elder brother?

This boy has great talent!

"puff."

Qian Zhao laughed even more happily. When he saw Liu Bei stand up, he wiped away the tears from his eyes and said, "Xuan De, Xuan De, if it is really as the Prince of Chenliu said, then they are not only not wrong this time, but also meritorious!"

"Zijing, I know." Liu Bei took a deep breath and calmed down. "Those who have made contributions should be rewarded, and those who have made mistakes should be punished. Besides, it is Master Lu's teaching time now."

Qian Zhao decisively shut his mouth.

"Yunchang, come with me to take a look." Liu Bei said.

Guan Yu nodded, "Okay."

The two pushed open the door, and before they could say anything, a surprised voice floated to their ears, "Uncle! Second Uncle! (General Wei, General Guan)"

Following the sound, they saw Liu Xie waving his arms excitedly at them. Without even waiting for them to speak, he trotted up to him and spoke as if to ask for credit.

"Uncle, uncle, I saw this man stealing other people's gold and silver, so I, my good nephew and three or four other good men, chased him and left him one way to escape. As a result, he happened to escape to this tavern and was caught by me and my nephew!"

Liu Bei and Guan Yu looked at each other and even used the Art of War. Xie'er, you know nothing about reading, but you really love the Art of War.

"By the way, Uncle Emperor, do you know how I was able to show off my skills?"

"Oh, tell me."

Liu Bei followed Liu Xie's meaning and spoke. While Liu Xie was talking about all kinds of things with gestures and excitement, Liu Bei and Guan Yu did not make a sound to disturb him, but listened silently.

When the Chief Justice arrived and confirmed that the man pinned to the ground by Cao Ang was the thief, they looked at Liu Xie in surprise. They had never expected that it was two young men who caught the thief, even though the stolen money was not much.

Oh, it’s the Prince of Chenliu, that’s okay.

"Hey, this thief didn't steal on the street, he broke into the house. Although the money wasn't much, his behavior was so bad that he should be sentenced to three or four years in prison."

The court judges secretly clicked their tongues, it was really quite similar.

Guan Yu couldn't help but ask, "Xie'er, how did you know?"

Liu Xie raised his head and said proudly: "Long illness makes a good doctor!"

Liu Bei was very upset. Is this an honorable thing?
But what Liu Xie did this time was indeed a good thing.

He took a deep breath, patted Liu Xie on the shoulder, and praised: "Xie'er is really amazing, he will be of great use in the future! Ang'er too, come in, let's eat meat together. I have new wrist guards in my house, I will give them to you two, but you must be careful when doing righteous deeds."

"Hahahaha" Liu Xie raised his head as majestic as if he had won a cockfight.

But the next moment his smile froze.

"After all, it's easier to copy books after eating, and we shouldn't sneak out during the teacher's teaching time."

No, I caught the thief!

Second uncle, please give us your judgment!

Liu Xie looked towards Guan Yu.

Who knew that Guan Yu actually nodded, "Brother, what you said is very true!"
